What makes Sharm safari different
The desert behind Sharm is part of Sinai. You get rocky plateaus, narrow wadis and small mountains instead of pure open sand. Sunsets light up the orange cliffs in a way Hurghada cannot match.
Pickup zones included
Naama Bay, Sharks Bay, Nabq Bay, Ras Um El Sid, Hadaba and the main Sharm El Sheikh hotel zone.
Best months
October to April is best. The Sinai desert cools fast after sunset, so even summer evenings stay comfortable.
What to bring
Closed shoes, light scarf, sunglasses, sunscreen, and a warm layer for stargazing because nights drop fast in Sinai.
Is this for you?
Not suitable for
• Anyone expecting big open dunes — Sinai is more rocky • Pregnant guests on quad/buggy • Children under 7 on combined tours
